4) I believe that Paola's"Who Wants to Be a Millionare?" webquest involved inquiry based learning. This webquest had students combine previous knowledge with research skills while students took part in interactive game that allowed them to ask their peers for help and poll for answers.
5) The webquest that Jackie chose was indeed inquiry based. Students were asked to work in groups and create a travel brochure which should reflect their prior knowledge of the topic combined with their research skills. In addition, the students were also graded on their individual work.
6) I think Paola's definition of inquiry is the most efficient. Her definition stresses the importance of combining prior knowledge with new learning and points out how vital the "scaffolding" process is during inquiry based learning.
